Talha had $150. He spent 35% of his money on clothes and 15% on Perfumes. How much money did he spend on the two items?

$60

$75

$50

$85​

Answer 1

75

Explanation:

since he spent a total of 50% of his money (35%+15%), then 50% of 150 is 75

Answer 2

$75

Explanation:

150 x 0.35 = 52.50

150 x 0.15 = 22.50

(or do 50% of whole total)

22.50 +52.50 = $75
